Ha!  "Crime Fight Nigeria"?  What an original name for a special ops internet fraud taskforce.  Sounds like the title of a bad movie....

Just because it's supposedly a Nigerian scam doesn't mean it's done by people in Nigeria. Or Nigerians.

I love internet scams. Who really falls for these?

i'm not kidding when i say, a professor-soon-to-be-emeritus at the university i work at.  like tens of thousands of dollars.  there are rumors that he's borderline senile, though.  his son is suing him for control of his estate, since the father doesn't know what in the BLUE HELL he's doing with his money.  scary, huh?

 awwww, that's sad, though. I feel so bad for the older people who fall for these. I mean, we've all grown up, or at least still been young enough to reasonably catch on, when the internet started booming. All my life I've been warned about how you can't trust anyone on the internet. But an older person, who probably still has a hard time grasping this whole computer business, not to mention the internet... there's no one to save them.
